Dear Vishal,

Thanks for these photos. The orange pattern which outlines white diamond-shaped marks on the back is very characteristic, but is sometimes difficult to see. In the top right corner of your photo with the egg ribbon I can see two sea anemones, which could well be the food of your animal.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
